What is Build and Publish a Business Website With AI?

Plan it, write it with an AI assistant, build it with a site builder or plain HTML, connect your own domain and launch a fast, mobile-friendly site with clear contact and quote options. You will finish with a published business website on the open web: clear words you have checked, honest images, a quote form you have tested, a privacy notice, a connected domain, a Google Business Profile started, and a launch checklist you ran yourself. You will also know how to edit and maintain the site without paying someone for every change.

Small-business owners, sole traders, side-business starters and community organisers who have no web skills and want a real business website of their own. You do not need to write code. If you choose the plain-HTML path, an AI coding assistant writes the code and this course shows you how to check it.

These are the prerequisites the course lists:

• You can use a web browser, copy and paste text, and save a file
• You have a real business, or a real business you are about to start, and you know the basic facts about it (what you sell, where, and how people reach you)
• No coding, design or marketing experience needed

These are the tools and materials the course lists:

• A computer (a phone is enough for some steps, but a computer is easier). Any modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari
• A free account with one AI assistant. Examples: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot. Check each tool's current features, limits and pricing, because they change often. Every core lesson can be done on a free plan
• A plain-text editor to save files. Notepad, TextEdit (in plain-text mode) or any free code editor is enough
• Either a site builder account (free plans exist; check the builder's current plans, because connecting your own domain often needs a paid plan) or a free static host account for the plain-HTML path. Examples of hosts: Cloudflare Pages or Netlify. Check their current terms and free-plan limits
• Real photos of your work, your premises or your team, taken on your phone. Free tools can resize them, such as Squoosh in your browser
• A Google account (free) for Google Business Profile and Google Search Console
• A domain name. This costs money: a yearly fee that varies by registrar and by ending. Compare the first-year price and the renewal price before you buy. Free alternative: publish first on your host's free address and buy the domain when you are ready. The core lessons still work
• Optional and never required: a paid site-builder plan, a paid AI plan, or a paid business email service

Your Published Business Website. Assemble everything you built into one live business website. It has a clear first screen, honest words and images, a tested quote form and click-to-call contact, a privacy notice, and it passes your launch checklist on a real phone. You then show it to one real person and fix what they find. The finished deliverables are:

• The live site address (HTTPS) on your own domain, or on your host's free address if you have chosen to wait on the yearly domain fee and have written up the domain step
• A home page with sections for services, how it works, about, questions and a quote form, plus a privacy notice page
• A screenshot or note from a real test: a quote form submission that reached your inbox, and a click-to-call test on a phone
• A launch checklist with every line ticked or explained, including your PageSpeed Insights mobile results
• A Google Business Profile started (created or claimed, with the verification step started or complete) with the website link added when the profile allows it
• A one-page maintenance routine: what you will check and update each month
